An Embarrassing Guest

Awkward, to have been interrupted
rummaging through one’s hosts drawers.
Any explanation can only be greeted
with fatal skepticism.

“I was looking for… a draft excluder
because it’s damp,
I’m not really the type to snoop—“
“I lost my hamster, he likes
to hide in lingerie—“ (Don’t go there.)
“I forgot which room was mine—“

Well, they’ll never invite me back.
